Chapter 65 - THE THREE OF THEM
At Han Sheng Ming's complaint, Han Luo replied, "There is no need for that. Making you surprised is the biggest gift I can have today." Han Luo dragged him toward the stairs. "Come on – we have things to do. Big brother Yujin, you come as well! First, we need to unpack, and second, we have to arrange things in your room. Big brother, you have no idea how big my room is! And you're going to live right across my room. Isn't that great?"
"Really? That's awesome!" Han Sheng Ming grabbed his bag and went upstairs with his cute little sister. Tang Yujin tagged along behind them.
Han Sheng Ming's room was half the size of Han Luo's room, but it had enough space for him to play basketball. He was very satisfied with it.
Aside from their rooms, on the second floor, there were several other rooms. However, since there weren't many people living in this house, those rooms were all locked. Butler Noah, Chef Sophia, and Maid Poppy and Eva all stayed in the basement. There, they could live peacefully without anyone to bother them.
They looked around the house and had dinner together. Then, they went to Han Luo's bedroom and sat beside the window. Tang Yujin asked, "Should we call Xiao Yuan?"
Han Luo hurriedly interjected, "No, don't spoil it. I'll personally show up in front of him. Let me surprise him a little."
"Are you sure about this, little Luo Luo? He might get angry and eat you up!" Han Sheng Ming tried to scare her.
"Geez, I am not a kid anymore." Han Luo pouted. "So, how is big brother Yuan? He never contacted me after he left. Maybe he has forgotten about me. I am not sure if I should surprise him, to be honest." In truth, she was upset that Mo Yuan never talked to her after he had left. He could have at least sent her a message, yet he never chose to do so. Maybe she should have just ignored him. But if she punished him a little, he might apologize to her.
"Oh, don't talk about him. When we talked to you, he left the room without telling us anything, as if he wanted to cut off any connection to you. I'm not going to lie, you guys didn't have any brother-sister relationship in the first place. I think that's for the best. Ever since he came here, it's as though his mind had cleared up." Han Sheng Ming was relieved that his friend, Mo Yuan, didn't contact her.
"Eh..." Han Luo looked down to hide her unhappy expression. However, Tang Yujin immediately noticed it. He took her hand in his and asked, "Little Luo, am I not enough?"
Han Luo shook her head. "I am very greedy. Two big brothers aren't enough for me – I need all three of you."
"Little Luo Luo, are you sure? I am your only big brother. How am I not enough?" Han Sheng Ming felt his heart squeeze tightly. This fourteen year old boy almost started to cry.
"Big brother Ming, can you not get jealous?" Han Luo was helpless.
"Little Luo Luo, you know how I become when it comes to you." Han Sheng Ming averted his eyes and pouted. He was sulking.
Han Luo sighed. "Fine, let me make it up to you. Let's go out somewhere and have fun when you are free."
Han Sheng Ming started to think about tomorrow's schedule. He was calculating if he had free time. Tang Yujin replied, "Our classes will start in September, so we have to arrange any plans. We have to go to the library tomorrow."
"That's awesome! Can I go with you? I want to visit the library." Han Luo's eyes sparkled like a night star.
Tang Yujin gently smiled at her. "That's a brilliant idea. Oh, come to think of it, Xiao Yuan will also be there with us. It will be great if you two meet tomorrow. You can give him a huge surprise."
Han Luo paused. "Oh, then… no, I don't think tomorrow will be a good idea. Maybe I will go with you the day after tomorrow. How does that sound?"
"Do you not want to meet Xiao Yuan? That's good, that's good." Han Sheng Ming looked pleased. "You shouldn't meet him. He is not a good guy." No matter how close he was with Mo Yuan, it was not enough for him to praise that unfriendly, cold boy in front of his cute little sister.
"Ahahaha…" Han Luo could only laugh at her big brother Ming's childishness.
Tang Yujin suddenly mentioned, "I heard from uncle Han that your father has been hospitalized here. Is he stable now?"
Han Luo responded, "He is. He is in a private hospital nearby here. I think I will go to visit him tomorrow after unpacking my luggage."
Tang Yujin said, "I can't visit him tomorrow but the next time you visit him, tell me beforehand. I want to go with you."
"Ah! Me too! Me too!" Han Sheng Ming interrupted. "It has been so long since I visited uncle." In China, he always visited his uncle whenever Han Luo went to the hospital. He stayed by her side till morning to evening until the visiting hour had been closed. Han Ying Wei was a good person and he adored Han Sheng Ming. Han Sheng Ming also respected him very much. Even Han Luo's mother, Qin Zheng, was good to him. Whenever he went to their house, she always cooked his favorite food. He was very sad when she died. He even cried during her funeral.
"Sure, we can all go together," Han Luo agreed easily. She wanted to take them all with her. She wished to tell her father that she came here safely and met them all.
Looking outside the window, she saw that the sun was still shining brightly in the sky, even though it was already nine in the evening. A strong shade of blue still filled the sky, but the faint gradient of orange was creeping in.. A few clouds spotted the clean atmosphere. "Is it always like this in London?"
